Why does the straw appear to be bent?

• The speed of the light wave slowed down as it traveled from the air through the water.

• The speed of the light wave became faster as it traveled from the air through the water.

• The light wave reflected faster through the water than through the air.

• The light wave was absorbed by the water which caused the frequency of the wave to increase.
